Exactly why is CORGI gas registration in great britain
stopping?

The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) started an assessment of
gas safety in 2006. This assessment determined that there was clearly a strong case for updating the gas
registration plan to bring added benefits to gas consumers as well as gas engineers. The evaluation called for a
clearer focus on gas safety, and simple registration and competence prerequisites for gas engineers without having
to compromise safety or service standards. It was a chance to build on the achievements of the existing
registration scheme, and simultaneously introduce innovation and add value to gas consumer
safety.

What will happen to any current investigations of registered
installers?

Any ongoing HSE, LA or police inspections against CORGI
registered installers will continue and be unchanged. Any ongoing investigations of customer complaints against
registered installers regarding the the gas registration system will be passed to Gas Safe Register for
finalization.
